- Josef Stalin
Our country has been surrendered to liars and thieves. The outrageous thing is that WE surrendered it when we should have stood up and DEMANDED that the right thing be done. I think that it should begin at the bottom strata, where we live. Is it too late? I’m not sure but it’s going to take a LONG TIME to correct things.
I wouldn’t be too quick to conclude those absentee ballots will favor Franken. I am not familiar with MN, but normally, absenteee ballots tend to favor Republicans.
How do they know how many votes Stuart Smalley got? They must have counted this batch before "they went missing."

Minnesota Statutes 204C.31, subdivision 2: “The state canvassing board shall consist of the secretary of state, two judges of the supreme court, and two judges of the district court selected by the secretary of state. None of the judges shall be a candidate at the election. If a judge fails to appear at the meeting of the canvassing board, the secretary of state shall fill the vacancy in membership by selecting another judge who is not a candidate at the election. Not more than two judges of the supreme court shall serve on the canvassing board at one time.”

Hasn’t Franken stolen this thing yet?
define unfair...
What is an ‘unfairly rejected’ ballot? I know what an unlawfully rejected ballot, and what a lawfully accepted ballot is, but I don’t know what fairly and unfairly rejected ballots are.
If the democrats persist to the point that franken wins, would that be reasonable grounds to just abolish the senate altogether?

Someone should remove his swinging chad.
And another victory and another until the tally finally favors Franken. It's a shame, really. We've got senate seats for sale to the highest bidder and any election outcome can be changed to favor Democrats because they know how to grease the wheels. Maybe in the wake of the Blago scandal, Franken should be investigated too. Fitz, you listening? We have a common pattern here.
Was there ever any doubt that the Democrats would do whatever was necessary to steal this seat?
We live in a socialist dictatorship now. This is how it works.
The dems ought to be right with us in denying this skidmark a seat in the senate. He’s bound to become an embarrassment.
Senator Al Franken.

See how easy that is?
Get used to it.
The fix is in.
It’s possible that a court would have put the absentee ballots back in anyway, if they truly were rejected improperly.
But the 133 ballot issue is absurd. The whole point of having a “recount” is that you don’t trust the election night count, because someone might have missed counting ballots, or might have counted them twice.
Further, the point of the “recount” is that you PRESUME that a visual inspection of the ballot is better than a machine.
But in this case, where the hand recount showed that 133 ballots were double-counted on election night, instead the canvassing board decides to use the election-night machine count. But they were supposed to only count ballots that could be inspected, and the 133 could not be inspected to reveal voter intent.
If Coleman takes that to court, he probably will win, because it appears case law is on his side.
If Al Franken actually wins this, I will take it as a sure sign that the Apocalypse is nigh.
How do you count MISSING BALLOTS???
I am not too bright- so please explain s l o w l y and with s m a l l words.
Hey Mini-soda, I have some missing ballots, shall I send them?
